Abstract
Models of Porosity Evolution in Permian Periplatform Carbonate Reservoirs (Debris-Flows and Turbidites) in the Permian Basin: (Reprinted from WTGS Volume 34, Number 1)
Abstract
The diagenesis of Permian periplatform carbonate rocks which are buried within the Permian Basin follows complex pathways. Not all of these pathways preserve or create porosity. Some of the porosity that is preserved is primary depositional porosity and some is meteoric dissolution porosity, which are created on the platform prior to redeposition into the basin. After redeposition, porosity may be created and preserved upon deeper burial and during early near-surface dolomitization. Periplatform sediments that are not dolomitized can develop secondary porosity by dissolution, which typically is accompanied by calcite cementation. Progressive burial of porous deposits tends to reduce or eliminate porosity by compacting and cementing the sediments. However, porosity can later be regenerated by dissolution in the mesogenetic environment.
